And FYI to all the Japanese TV lovers out there....Your's truly was on Chukyo TV (中京テレビ)on Tuesday night with my girlfriend being interviewed at Shuta
ro's sake brewery in Toyohashi. The name of the sake brewery is Iseyashuzo, and I need to check the kanji....(伊勢屋酒?)Anyway, if you were lucky enough to catch me on TV, you would have been wowed by my amazing Japanese skills as I talked about how delicious this sake was and what a helluva guy Shutaro is. Of course, that was what I wanted to say.Friends, the weekend draws nigh. I updated the site today so I can send updates (via Softbank and Twitter) so you can know what I am doing just about every hour of every day. I know there are many of you who will sleep better now that you can track my every move. If you look on the left of the page, you can see my updates......it probably says something like "thinking about beer", "drinking a beer", "talking about beer", or "pretending I am working." Believe it or not, that is pretty much sums up my day.

Is it the same beer N and I drank at the rice field out side of Hakusekikan??
It's not bad, yes. Have you also tried the Hakusekikan honey ale? They use wild yeast, which is interesting and quite brave. I went all the way out to Gambrinus once (it's a long way from me) just to try it. Not too bad. Good blog, guys.
Yeah Miyuki it's the same one...and Chuwy I've never had that one, but Nate has and said it was pretty tasty--brave no doubt! Sometime I'll tell you about my homemade cider using wild yeast. Yikes.
Thanks for always stopping in and commenting--we have to meet up when I come to Tokyo in March for the Grande Biere festival!
I fel like a bloody stalker! Good to have loads of entries on your blog. Keep em coming. Keep on tasting, drinking, brewing, exploring, having beer adventures. Man, I luuuuuurv di cider! Next time you are in Tokyo, you have to check out the Celt, up in Ueno. If they have it, Old Rosie is a gorgeous scrumpy, unfiltered cider.
After the Real Ale Fest and at Popeyes, I drank the crap outta Hakusekikan's Dual Porter. It was good as hell, not to mention free! Maybe Miyuki and I got some bad batches before.
Hakusekikan: Drink their beer, never visit!
Is this Amano hashidate beer the same beer as Hakusekikan's Golden Ale? Looks the same. The latter was great at the fest, by the way.
